A quick definition of survivorship annuity:

A survivorship annuity is a type of payment plan where someone agrees to pay a certain amount of money to another person every month or year. But, if the person receiving the payments dies, the payments stop. However, with a survivorship annuity, if the person receiving the payments dies, the payments continue to be made to their spouse or another person they have chosen. It's like a promise to keep taking care of someone even after they're gone.

A more thorough explanation:

A survivorship annuity is a type of annuity that provides continued payments to a survivor, usually a spouse, after the original annuitant dies. An annuity is an obligation to pay a stated sum, usually monthly or annually, to a stated recipient. These payments terminate upon the death of the designated beneficiary.

For example, if a husband and wife purchase a survivorship annuity, the annuity will continue to pay the wife after the husband dies. This provides financial security for the surviving spouse.

Another example is a group annuity, which is payable to members of a group, especially employees, who are covered by a single annuity contract, such as a group pension plan. If an employee dies, their spouse may be eligible to receive survivorship annuity payments.

Overall, survivorship annuities provide a way for individuals to ensure that their loved ones are financially secure after they pass away.

@baddestbunny: I did not see that comment. Sorry about that. I listen to war and peace whenever I want to fall asleep. I used to listen to more audiobooks for school. I really don't anymore but most of my political theory was learned via audiobooks. Like the basics. Schmitt, Locke, Mills, Thoreau, Aristotle, Plato, etc.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.
